See Below For Jump off rules

In the event of Vertical Jumps Tie: Tie-Breaking and Jump-Off Rules

If a tie occurs for 1st or 4th place in vertical jumps, a jump-off is required, as
only four competitors may advance to the TSSAA State Championship.


Ties for 1st or 4th place may be decided by a jump-off or if one athlete chooses to concede:

If an athlete concedes 4th place, they forfeit their trip to the TSSAA State Championship.

If an athlete concedes 1st place, they will be awarded 8 points (2nd place points).


High Jump – Jump-Off Rules


Athletes will be awarded one attempt at the last height both cleared.

If both athletes clear, the bar will be raised by 1 inch.

If neither clears, the bar will be lowered by 1 inch.

This process continues until the tie is broken by a cleared height.


Pole Vault – Jump-Off Rules


Athletes will be awarded one attempt at the last height both cleared.

If both athletes clear, the bar will be raised by 3 inches.

If neither clears, the bar will be lowered by 3 inches.
